Master Light Switch




Illustration 1g00336838

------ WARNING! ------

Use of work lamps when traversing public roads and accesses may cause an accident and personal injury by impairing the vision of approaching traffic and obscuring the flashing hazard lights. Only the "Head Lamps" position of the master light switch should be used when traversing roads.

----------------------

The master light switch has the following positions:


Off (A) - Turn the switch fully in the counterclockwise direction in order to turn off all the exterior lights.


Parking Light (B) - Move the switch to this position in order to turn on the dash lamps and the tail lamps.


Headlamps (C) - Move the switch to this position in order to turn on the following lights: headlamps, tail lamps and dash lamps. Use the hazard lights in conjunction with this position while you are roading the machine.


Work Lights (D) - Move the switch to this position in order to select individual groups of lights. This can be done by using the keypad on the Electronic Monitoring Center.

Note: See "Worklamp Control Panel" for detailed information about the operation of the worklamps.

Worklamp Control Panel

The worklamp control panel activates the worklamps. The worklamp control panel also monitors the worklamps. The worklamp control panel also controls the intensity of the dash lamps.

Rotate the master light switch fully in the clockwise direction in order to select the WORK position. The master light switch is located to the left of the steering column. The front lamp on the monitor for the work lights will illuminate. This indicates that the headlights are on. All four headlamps (6) can be activated by switching on the high beam headlights. Push the multifunction switch forward in order to activate all four headlights. The multifunction switch is located on the left of the steering column.

Press the appropriate symbol in order to activate a group of work lights. Deactivate the work lights by pressing the appropriate symbol again.


Front Side Lamps and Middle Side Lamps - Press switch (1) in order to activate outer lamps (7) at the front of the machine. Switch (1) also activates the lamps (11) that are mounted on the fuel tank.


Rear Lower Lamps - Press switch (2) in order to activate the lamps that are mounted on the fender (8) and the lower lamp (8) .


Rear Upper Lamps - Press switch (3) in order to activate the cab mounted rear lamps (9) .


Front Upper Lamps - Press switch (4) in order to activate the cab mounted front lamps (10) .


Panel Dimmer - Use the panel dimmer in order to vary the intensity of the lighting for the instrument console. Press and hold panel dimmer (5) in order to progressively reduce the intensity of the lighting for the instrument console. A change in the intensity of the lighting may take several seconds. The minimum intensity of light will cause the instrument console to cycle back to a full bright setting. The instrument console will then continue to fade. Release the switch when the desired intensity of the light is observed. Pressing the switch momentarily toggles between the full bright setting and the last dim setting.
